SUMMARY: How to set up UUCP between Sun and OSF box?; "cu" works OK.

As most everyone who responed pointed out, I needed to include an expect-send
pair of:
  "" P_ZERO
in the Sun's /etc/uucp/Systems file (supposedly it will work in the Dialers
file as well). This forces zero parity in the connection, since the DEC
machine was expecting 8bits, no parity.

Right now I've got the line cranked up to 38400, and can copy large files
without a hitch (well, just one more tweak to let me write to my home
directory on the DEC machine, but who's counting?).

Thanks to all the folks who helped.
